Step 4 - Prepare for Calibration

This step starts the calibration process for the LSPX1 Probe Changer. The calibration process uses a special probe that is a cylindrical shape. You do not need to calibrate it, but you must define it at the wrist angle that is needed for the calibration.

To start the calibration process:

1. Select the Calibrate tab in the Probe Changer dialog box (Edit | Preferences | Probe Changer):

Probe Changer dialog box - Calibrate tab

2. In the Active probe changer list, select Probe Changer 1: TYPE=LSPX1.

3. The entry in the Active probe file list defaults to the current measurement routine setting. If this is not what is to be used for the rack calibration, select the proper probe.

4. The entry in the Active tip list defaults to the current measurement routine setting. If this is not what is to be used for the rack calibration, select the tip ID to be used for calibration. This is usually T1A0B0.

5. To begin, click Calibrate.

6. When you are ready to take the first measurement, click OK.

In the next step, you take the first manual hit.
